Interested in social movements?
Organizing for social change?
How an idea becomes a mass movement?  Terrorism? 
 
 

This course will emphasize social movements, collective behavior including crowd behavior, panic behavior, mass movements, fads & fashions & other forms of social action & how it affects a community.

Given the events of this year, a unique focus on terrorism as a form of collective behavior will be addressed.

If you are interested in social change & how various movements have (& have not) transformed from a general, unorganized mass of publics to social movements to formalized interest groups to NGO's to (in some cases) parts of government, this class gives an overview of how to organize & act w/in a social movement.
